7 Claims. 1
This invention relates to slack adjusters for vehicle brakes and more particularly to a locking mechanism therefor which functions to positively lock the slack adjuster in any desired position of adjustment and thereby prevents any change in the adjustment during operation of the vehicle brakes.
One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a slack adjuster construction for vehicle brakes including a novel arrangement which permits a quick adjustment of the parts while insuring a positive locking thereof in the desired position of adjustment.
Another object is to provide a novel detent construction for a brake slack adjuster device, which is so constituted as to be capable of quick adjustment to either one position permitting adjusting movements of the device, or to another position to positively lock the parts in adjusted position.
A further object is to provide a novel construction of the above character which includes a relatively simple arrangement of parts, capable of economical manufacture, and effectively operable throughout long periods of use.
Other objects and novel features of the invention will appear more fully hereinafter from the following detailed description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing illustrating one form of the invention. It is to be ex pressly understood however that the drawing is utilized for purposes of illustration only and is not designed as a definition of the limits of the invention, reference bein had for this purpose to the appended claims.
In the drawing, wherein similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views,
Fig. 1 is a front view partly in section, of a slack adjuster and locking means therefor constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a side View of the slack adjuster shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a side view of the detent locking member; and
Fig. 4 is an enlarged developed view of the detent locking member illustrating the diametrically opposed cam slots therein.
The present invention is directed to a slack adjuster of a conventional type, the same comprising a casing provided with a worm wheel mounted on the brake cam shaft, together with a worm engaging the worm wheel for adjusting the position of the latter with respect to the casing in order to adjust the vehicle brakes. Many types of detent and locking devices have been heretofore provided for maintaining the worm in a desired position of adjustment. In the present invention, a positive locking detent of novel construction is employed so that the worm shaft adjustment may be quickly and easily eifected and the slack adjuster thereafter securely locked in an adjusted position without danger of backing 01f, notwithstanding the development of high braking torques to which the slack adjuster is subjected.
Referring more particularly to Fig. 1, a slack adjuster of the foregoing type is illustrated therein as comprising a body Ill having a worm wheel 52 rotatably mounted therein and provided with a series of internal splines 14 for connection with a brake operatin cam shaft, not shown. As illustrated, the body It is provided with an out- Warclly extending portion constituting a brake lever [6, the outer end of which has an opening l8 for receiving the end of a suitable brake operating rod. A worm 20 secured to a worm shaft 22 rotatably mounted in any suitable manner within the body ill, is positioned to mesh with the worm wheel 12, and preferably the outer end of the shaft 22 is provided with a convenient wrench-engaging head 24 in order that the shaft 22 may be rotated to thereby adjust the position of the worm wheel l2 and the brake operating cam shaft with respect to the casing. It will be readily understood that upon rotation of the worm shaft 22, the worm wheel I2 will be moved in a proper direction so that the position of the brake actuating cam shaft with respect to the brake actuating rod i6 may be adjusted. In this manner, any slack or clearance in the brake may be taken up or otherwise adjusted to its proper value.
The main feature of the present invention resides in a novel construction for positively locking the worm shaft 22 and the worm 29 in any desired position of adjustment, the arrangement being such that the locking of the shaft and the unlocking thereof, may be quickly effected and in a relatively simple manner. As shown, such construction includes a plurality of spaced apart notches 26 which are circumferentially arranged on the shaft 22. Casing It is provided with a bore 28 extending laterally of the shaft 22 for slidably receiving a detent member 30 having one end thereof selectively engageable with a selected one of the notches 26. Resilient means such as a coil spring 32 yieldably urges the detent member 30 to its shaft engaging position. If desired,
. sition.
a second yieldable detent 34 may be positioned within a bore 36, diametrically opposed to the bore 28 in order to provide a further detent action during adjustment of shaft 22.
One of the important features of the present invention resides in the use of a locking member for controlling the action of the detent 3d and the spring 32. :Such locking member, illustrated at 38 is-so arranged as to be capable of limited rotation in opposite directions with respect to the bore 28. During such rotative movements, the present invention provides, .an arrangement whereby the locking member 38 may be either moved toward the shaft 2-2 "or moved inia direction away from said. shaft. 'Duringmovement of the locking member 38 toward the shaft 22, the construction is such that the saidmember engages the upper end of the detent member 39 in order to effectively lock the same in the position illus trated. Thus, with the parts as shown, rotation of t'he:shaft 22 in either direction ispositivelyprevented. On the other hand, when the locking .member 38 is moved outwardly with respect to the shaft 22,-the spring32 .elongatesand serves to yieldably maintain the shaft -22 in any desired po- :Under these conditions, the said .shaft may be readily rotated in theproper direction to effect the desired adjustment of the brakes. Thereafter it is-only necessary to move the lock- .ingmember 38130 the first mentioned position in .order that the adjustment .may be "eifectively maintained in a locked position.
In order to provide -theforegoing desirablere- .sults, the locking member 334s provided with a painof diametrically opposed similar cam slots lfi .and M which cooperatewith a pin Ml having its opposite ends secured to the wall of the bore 23.
As will beseen from Fig. l, the slots 4d an &2 are ..provided with therespective inclined portions lli and A8 so thatupon rotation of the loclging'mem- :loer .38 in one directiomthe cooperation between vitheiinclined portions of the-slots ifi and 42 and =the pin-M, will move the member 38 axiallyin the bore'28 so thatthe locking member is moved .in one direction axially. For-example, suchmove- :ment maybringenlarged .portions iii anditlof .the= slots in such a position as to embrace the opposite enclsof the pin :14. In this positionof the partathemember tfi-is movedawayfrorn the detent til, the'load on the spring 321s relieved, .and the detent dfi..hence 'functionsas -a yieldable detent.
-On the :other hand, in the event .the locking .member.38 is moved in theopposite direction toward" the shaft "22, enlarged end .portions 54. and fidof'thetslots will be brought into engagement with the opposite .ends of the ,pindd. Under theseconditions, thelocking member .353 will engage the upper end of the detent 39 and the shaft 22 will thereupon be effectively locked inits-then p-osition of adjustment.
It will be noted fromFigs. ..l to 4 .thattheenlarged portions .5 1 andEiE Oftheslotsarecon- .nected to the inclined portions lt and .48 .through portions -58 and .603 whichare arranged substantiallynormal to theaxis of .thelocking-member ..38. .Fromthis construction, ..and considering. also that the portionsb and 550i the..slots are ..en-
larged, it will be readiiy..seen that the locking actionon the ide'tentdll, whenltheparts occupy desired position -,of adjustment.
-.the detent 30, by reason of the cooperation between the slots tiland 22 and the pin M, and the compression of the spring 32 will be relieved in vorder;that the .latter may elongate. Shaft 22 "may then be adjusted in the usual manner and yieldingly-maintained in the adjusted position .bythedetents 30. and 34 until the locking member 38 is returned to the locking position shown in "Fig. '1.
It will be appreciated from the foregoing that .theinvention provides a novel and eificient lockingrarrangement forabrake slack adjuster which iscapable of-positively locking the parts in any This feature eliminates the possibility of any backing oiT-of the adjuster when subjected to high braking torques. An important advantage of the'inven- .tionresides-in the ease with which the adjustments may be made, it being-pointed out thata partial turn of the locking member 313 in one-di- Qrection secures-an effective locking action while a ..action occurs, thespring is compressed to. a: sub- ;stantially. solid state. Hence, if desired, the locking action may be secured by the solid state of the spring 32, in which event it would be unnecessary that themember 38 engage the detent 33.
While one embodiment of the invention has been illustrated and described herein, it .will be readily understoodby those skilledin the artthat various changes and modifications -may be .resorted .to without departing frointhe. spirit of .the invention. .Referencewilltherefore be had.to the app-endedclaims for .a definition ..of the limits. of the invention.
